niblick Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Since I can't safely ask this question on any Subaru forum (Subie guys may know why) I'm asking you... I'm looking for a new BOV, and want to know what you guys are running. My main concern is not having a high pitched wheez, but rather more of a "whoosh" sound. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo2dusk Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 i like the hks ssqv cuz you dont have to adjust it. also it doesnt whistle much if at all that i can notice, but if you dont come across one for realllly cheap like $60, theyre not worth anything more in my eyes.

Shanebot90 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Tial 50mm all the way. It's a great bov. I know someone who ran one on his sti that made 550 whp. You just have to know what weight spring you're going to need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 first off, dont get a bov. they arent good for subies. your engine is expecting the boost to be recycled back with the stock bypass valve. buuuuuuuuuut, if you must get one, get the greddy rs bov. it sounds almost like a whip when you shift.

lceah Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 ^hadn't heard that about subies...so it doesn't need a bov for pressure? I've heard good things about Tial and Greddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard good things about Tial and Greddy subarus have a bypass valve. it recirculates the boost back into the motor instead of venting it atmospherically. it helps build the boost quicker and its better for the car. BOVs make your car burn really really rich whenever you let off the gas or shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Injection Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If you want a BOV, buy another car. BOV's and Subbys dont go together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanebot90 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Most cars that come turbo from the factory are like that. They have the recirculation valve that just recycles all that air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
